When is it better to use agent-based (AB) models, and when should differential equation (DE) models be used? Whereas DE models assume homogeneity and perfect mixing within compartments, AB models can capture heterogeneity across individuals and in the network of interactions among them. AB...

Conventional economic wisdom suggests that congestion pricing would be an appropriate response to cope with the growing … congestion levels currently experienced at many airports. Several characteristics of aviation markets, however, may make naive … congestion prices equal to the value of marginal travel delays a non-optimal response. This paper develops a model of airport …

This paper analyzes the effects of price differentiation and discrimination by a monopolistic transport operator, which sets fares in a congestible network. Using three models, with different spatial structures, we describe the operator's optimal strategies in an unregulated market, a market...

The second assumption is that the congestion tax revenue is redistributed to households according to predetermined … interaction component. The taxes will deviate from marginal external congestion costs, even in the absence of network pricing …
